When a valuable agent behind the Iron Curtain signals he wants out, it's up to Bernard Samson, once active in the field but now anchored to a London desk, to undertake the crucial rescue. But soon, Samson is confronted with evidence that there is a traitor among his colleagues. And to find out who it is, he must sift through layers of lies and follow a web of treachery from London to Berlin until hero and traitor collide."Each scene in this story is so adroitly realized that it creates its own suspense."NEWSWEEK "From the Paperback edition."

About this title

Review:

‘Deighton’s best novel to date - sharp, witty and sour, like Raymond Chandler adapted to British gloom and the multiple betrayals of the private spy’
Observer

‘Sheer consistent rightness page after page after page’
The Times

‘Virtuoso top level performance’
Guardian

‘A masterly performance, much the best thing Deighton has done since SS-GB’
Sunday Times
